Anecdotal, but I'm noticing a UK-EU divide on this topic. Like, I attended a panel a few months ago and organisers from across the EU highlighted the importance of public funding (on all levels), while thise one guy from Scotland insisted that "we have to monetise our work, forget the government". 🤷

Periodical reminder to support independent journalism. Grab a copy of the fab new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social here www.thewire.co.uk/issues/501 or, better yet, take out a subscription.

Chatted to claire rousay for this month's Wire cover. We spoke about sobriety, San Antonio, field recordings, atonement, William Basinski’s clothes, living in cities, the confessional mode, self sacrifice & much besides. Her new album a little death comes out end of Oct.

📣 New @thewiremagazine.bsky.social! With the amazing claire rousay on the cover!

I reviewed new albums by Endlings (Raven Chacon & John Dieterich), Stefen Robinson (aka Yea Big) & Greg Saunier, Chino Amobi, and Rafael Toral, who is also thoughtfully profiled by @pmargasak.bsky.social in the issue.

I recently rewatched the first two, and I honestly like this one miles better. Lovely film, and I'm usually not a Boyle fan.

At Grof Melin in Zagreb, as part of the ZEZ festival (www.instagram.com/zezfestival/).

It's a fairly small event, but the curation is top. This year it was four days with Penelope Trappes, Masma Dream World, Container, Granpa Abela/Justice Yeldham, Martha Skye Murphy, Julek Ploski, Hexenbrutal...

Malo za promjenu, našao sam se na drugoj strani intervjua 2/2:

O eksperimentalnoj muzičkoj sceni, hrvatskoj i globalnoj, dao sam par izjava povodom otvorenja festivala ZEZ za tekst kolege Vržine.

Malo za promjenu, našao sam se na drugoj strani intervjua 1/2:

Za Yammatovu emisiju Radio aktivitet govorio sam o bojkotu u glazbi/umjetnosti, s naglaskom na reakcije na izraelski genocid u Gazi.

Witnessed an amazing double bill of @penelopetrappes.bsky.social and @masmadreamworld.bsky.social tonight. Truly a transcendent experience.

Posebno mi je drag koncept "Roko's basilisk" koji je proizišao s LW-a i kojeg s ovim uzletom "AI-a" sad snifaju svi tehnokrati s mesijanskim kompleksom iz Silicijske doline.

Gdje je i što danas radi briljantni um koji je tu ideju osmislio, pitate se?

Ja ću zauvijek biti zahvalan jednom manijaku "libertarijancu" koji je tamo od sredine dvijetisućitih na internom ferovskom forumu non-stop pilio o LessWrongu, "porezi su nasilje" spikama, dark enlightenmentu itd. Fino me pripremilo za ovo što živimo danas.

Music journalism was once funded by labels advertising. In 2025, barely any record labels advertise, instead paying influencers to gab on. If you believe in cultural criticism and long-form writing, becoming a tQ subscriber is one vital way to ensure it survives:

Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin's 'Ghosted III' is an exquisite listen and perhaps their best yet. "All circular grooves and spectral riffs", as I write in my review for @thequietus.com.

'All circular grooves and spectral riffs, with Werliin and Berthling’s pulsing sway providing the motor that anchors and pulls along the broad palette of effervescent sounds Ambarchi extracts from his guitar'

To quote Marisa, the wife of #JDTwitch, in her post: "the most meaningful way to honour Keith is to keep playing his music, sharing your memories, and supporting the causes he cared about." In this thread, please find a series of links that will allow you to do just that. Please share widely:
